Moonbase2 has been gettin'R-done, breaking what little news
there is to share on the future of Transformers, this time
in a podcast interview with G1 veteran voice
actor Michael Bell (Prowl, Firstaid, Swoop, Scrapper,
Bombshell...) We've known for awhile there will be a
new series. Now we've learned:

* Michael Bell auditioned for the roll of
Ratchet and "Gene
ral Fowler" -perhaps they're introducing the military
rooster from Chicken Run
into the Transformers Universe??? (Don't panic! I'm
just kidding!)

Man, Michael Bell as Ratchet? I could get used to that. I know it'll be different than Don Messick's portrayal. I hear David Sobolov is auditioning too. And that Bell is also auditioning for the role of General Hawk in a possible new GI Joe cartoon.

After listening to the whole podcast, I should have known that it was Chris McFeely who reorganized the G1 Optimus Prime Toys page on TFWiki.net.http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28G1%29/toysJust look at it! That is amazing! Everything is there! Bravo, Chris, bravo!

And we're also getting a new Joes toon. I hate to say that the only ones I've seen are Sigma 6 (why does everyone hate this one?) and Resolute (epic!)

David Sobolov is awesome! Any character he voices sounds good. Glad to hear that Sue Blu is still onboard.

It would seem that Hasbro REALLY kept a tight lip on the new series this time. This might be the latest we've ever heard info about any yet-to-be-released TF series. Hopefully more voice actors will spill the beans like Bell did. ^_^
